I have owned my 2014 SE Sedan since April but don't drive much these days. So far, besides a few very minor complaints (front seat adjustments, hard bottom cushion, instrument panel) I'd say I love it 99.9999%. I, too, have driven FWD 4-cyl cars for years (since 1976) and this Focus is undoubtedly better than all of them put together. Given a choice between it and even modern versions of the two seat roadsters I owned before that, I'd choose the Focus. Must be love.

If it was legal to in America I would without hesitation. Maybe Ill trade in my modded out 2012 SE. I seriously cant enough of that new RS..not too excited to see the price tag on it though.

Oh, I don't know, the black market's pretty tough these days. You could get by with just one of each for the RS... but the GT? Might need to sell two of both ;)

Absolutely love my Focus 5dr, I've driven FWD 4bangers my whole life and the focus has been by far the most fun little 5 door for the price without a doubt. The golf and the wrx are great cars but the VW is way more expensive and the scoob is heavier, less fuel efficient, and more expensive as well.

Also, does anyone know if I can sell a kidney or testicle for the new RS? Seriously though. Its a gonna be a great year with the new RS and GT they just announced.

I've read the RAV4 is the least reliable vehicle that Toyota makes...

Lumbar support is overrated anyways...

Love my car except for one thing, it makes a popping sound inside the cabin when changing gear, speed humps etc. Its the popping sound you can make with your mouth, like the facebook messenger pop.

Anyone know what it is?

Also the drivers seat was not very comfortable at all. Not a bad looking car, but they basically dressed up a really old chassis that has not been updated in forever, and it was SLLLLOOOWWWW.

I replaced my TDI with the Focus. At first I missed all the low-end punch of the diesel motor, however now that I've broken in my Focus, I feel it's just as fast if not faster than the turbo diesel. The other bonus is that it's only costing me $20 per fill up, versus the $35+ per tank. Still loving my car.
